Bozak lowboy orientation - tweeters inside or outside

I bought two Bozak lowboy speakers on Wednesday. They sound great. Each has two 12" drivers on bottom, a line of tweeters (8?) and a single midrange on top. On one cabinet the tweeters are on the left and the mid on the right, on the other the tweeters on the right and the mid on the left. So my question is: should I have the tweeters on the inside and the mids on the outside? Or the reverse?

General rule of thumb (ouch!) is to always have mirror imaged speakers positioned with the tweets toward the center. Better imaging and drops your first reflection from the side walls (if any) drastically.
 
The only times I ever turned horizontally-placed speakers with their tweeters out was when circumstances required they be situated very close together, and that was always a short-term solution.
 
I have recently acquired some Symphonys - aren't big Bozaks fun? My factory cabinets are marked on the back, left and right, with the tweeters facing inward. My JBL 4410 Studio Monitors are the same way - mirrored with the tweeters facing in.
